Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Sweet Scent unfurls with a lively burst of tangerine and orange, quickly giving way to the star of the show: a lush, jammy raspberry. This fruity core is enveloped by a rich, warm amber, lending a sophisticated depth, while a clean musk and creamy cashmere wood provide a soft, inviting finish. The overall impression is a sweet, slightly powdery composition with a luxurious, comforting embrace.
